Posted October 18, 2006 I saw on Sky Sports News that they want to introduce helmets for goalkeepers, after what happened to Cech. That is absolutely ridiculous, footballers are becoming wusses by the year. The fact both Chelsea keepers got head injuries is just a complete freakish coincidence. Its not often, or not often enough to warrant a helmet that keepers get caught in the face/head. Injuries in football are also like the boy who called wolf, most of the time they're faked so its hard to judge whether someone needs real treatment or not. On a plus side I got myself a ticket to the Arsenal vs Newcastle match, on the negative I could only get one, so I'm on my own, thankfully my brother isn't annoyed I didn't get him a ticket.

Injuries in football are also like the boy who called wolf, most of the time they're faked so its hard to judge whether someone needs real treatment or not. I agree, they shouldn't introduce helmets. When they become Goalkeepers they know the dangers of that position, they probably know about the 'keeper who died during a match, when he collided with somebody's knees. 'Keepers put themselves in harms way just so the ball can be booted out of the goal area. You watch the 'keepers and they will risk injury in probably every match. Chelsea are definitely going OTT about this. Simply because they're playing Barcelona tonight. It's very rare for two goalkeepers on the same team to be injured. They should just consider themselves unfortunate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 19, 2006 Drogba was great last night and his goal was superb. Which is more than I can say about Shevchenko. But you can tell Shevchenko still hasn't settled in yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye people need to get off Schevchenkos back he will come good, you don't lose quality overnight. Most foreign players do shit in there first season in the premiership especialy ones who havent learned the language yet. Henry for example scored less goals in more apperances then Rebrov in there first season in the premiership yet Wenger kept faith with Henry and look at him now whereas Spurs treated Rebrov appalingly and his confidence was shot to hell.

That's cos Henry was a winger when he came to arsenal, until wenger realised his potential up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 19, 2006 I was impressed with our win the other night. I think, at times, we didn't play particularly fantastic. So, to come out of a game where you don't really play all that well, but still manage to score 3 goals is definitely a good sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allen has no idea what hes got him self into because judging by the response on forums and football heaven the majority of people want him out now and it looks like theres gonna be a protest on Saturday.

I must admit, I usually forget and take for granted how young he is Snap. Fabregas is such an integral part of our first team now, I often forget he is just over seven months older than me. You can also see why Wenger let Vieira go, it was essential to allow Fabregas to develop and become a regular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
